President John Dramani Mahama has vowed to enforce greater transparency in Ghana’s sports sector, particularly in the financial management of national teams.



Delivering his State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Thursday, February 27, 2025, Mahama stressed that the days of secrecy surrounding government spending on sports were over.



“There will be no secrecy in how much the government spends on the national teams; I have directed that the GFA be held accountable,” he declared.



His statement comes amid mounting frustration over the poor performance of Ghana’s national football teams, with the Black Stars failing to qualify for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). 



The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has faced intense criticism over alleged mismanagement and lack of accountability.



Mahama reaffirmed his commitment to reforming the sector, ensuring that funds allocated to sports development are properly utilized.



“Government is committed to refurbishing existing sports stadia and building more youth resource centres,” he stated, emphasizing the need to nurture local talent and restore Ghana’s standing in international sports.
